Liverpool Transfers: 10 Dream Replacements For Luis Suarez

10. Divock Origi

The more than 6 foot teen would redress that imbalance somewhat, though he is more than a target man, attracting admiration as similar in style to Samuel Eto'o and Patrick Kluivert. Even with those similarities, he would take some time to adjust to the English game, so he's perhaps not an immediate answer to the solution - though it does look like his £9.8m move will go through.
